300 works of art created by youth from around the world expressing their voices for world peace representing 80 countries to date on the initiative of CITYarts
From March 30 to April 28, 2018, Mémoire de l'Avenir, in partnership with CITYarts hosts the exhibition devoted to the CITYarts - Pieces for Peace project in its gallery space.
This exhibition that was presented at the United Nations in Geneva last December, is one of CITYarts' (New York) main projects, initiated in 2004, under the program "Youg Minds Build Bridges". The exhibition is composed of original art works by youth representing 81 countries around the world. The pieces are part of a large global online exhibition, which has received, to date, more than 6,000 works.
Its main goal is to involve teenagers, often accompanied by artists, in an artistic process that brings them together, from local to global scales, in thinking and expressing the hope of peace in their lives. CITYarts hopes to reach youth in all of the 193 countries under the U.N. flag.
